From <\/strong>blundering boyfriends<\/em><\/strong> on TikTok to the biggest online creators, here is the full breakdown on the trend that <\/strong>exposed<\/em><\/strong> how the internet thinks about women.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the vast ocean of short form social media content were divided into smaller identifiable seas, one such expanse of content that many a scrolling sailor has become drowned in, would be person-on-the-spot asked-a-question videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There would be a \u201cName a vegetable\u201d Cove, a \u201cName five animals\u201d Bay, and the Great \u201cHow many times do you think about the Roman Empire?\u201d Reef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cName a woman\u201d trend stands with such esteemed company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These trends follow a set formula, like any good experiment. We have \u2018the observer\u2019: a TikTok account holder, typically female, camera operator, and \u2018the subject\u2019: caught unaware, usually male, (boyfriend? quite possibly) and surely about to be the star of a very funny video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For some, the question asked is unimportant, and it\u2019s more about the surprise and seeing what a brain spits out when asked to name a vegetable at lightning speed. He said artichoke?! <\/em>And so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But for others, the question, and the data collected in the multitude of recorded responses, is the real gold. No one cares if one guy thinks about the Roman empire every day. But millions of men all over the world? Thinking about it every day? In secret?! Incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cName a woman\u201d began as the former. Leagues of men blurting out random females, often of varying species and levels of fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, like Leo DiCaprio dumping another 26 year old, a pattern began to emerge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSydney Sweeney\u201d, \u201cMegan Fox\u201d, and \u201cMargot Robbie\u201d and other women known for their looks or male popularity were appearing in increasing numbers, and simultaneously a new aspect to the trend mutated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boyfriends and husbands began to be considered to have \u201cpassed the test\u201d if they gave their partner\u2019s name, and failed if they gave the name of another; some failed more terribly than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reactions to a failure were varied, from incredulous, when given an answer like \u201cMiss Piggy\u201d, to borderline outrage when, without thinking, your boyfriend says your sister\u2019s name rather than your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Bradley Wiggins is the author of \u201cThe Discursive Power of Memes in Digital Culture\u201d and is an expert on how trends like this spread. He says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese iterations help to increase the virality, as more people find things to latch on to and iterate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs soon as there\u2019s that element of pass\/fail, a whole new audience of people will be more interested in participating based on that aspect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And more there were, mostly personal accounts making videos on a whim during weekend afternoons; but when \u2018Name a woman\u2019 hit the online creator community, a fascinating iteration of the trend emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI remember asking [my boyfriend] to name a woman.\u201d Says Blaire, known online as QTCinderella, \u201cWe were on stream, and- he got all flustered, I think he said his Mom? But then got all defensive, mostly playing up to the camera for sure, he was very aware of the TikTok trend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
QT livestreams on Twitch.tv, where she has 1.14 Million followers, she has over half a million Youtube subscribers and is one of the most influential creators in the community, hosting and creating a number of huge events involving some of the biggest names in online entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI like to do the Chappell Roan and say \u2018I\u2019m your favourite streamer\u2019s favourite streamer\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m pretty sure [name a woman] originally came from Billy Eichner, that\u2019s what I had always thought\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Billy on the Street with Billy Eichner is a 2011 TV comedy series. In the episodes, Billy goes around New York city with a microphone, asking questions of passing pedestrians. In the first episode, Billy goes up to a woman clutching a dollar and says \u201cMiss, for a dollar, name a woman.\u201d Shocked, and becoming defensive at Billy\u2019s increasing intensity with each repetition of the question, she is unable to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe online streamer community is so centered around gamers, both in the audience and the creators, it just fit to have something like this become a game.\u201d Continues QT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI said to [my boyfriend] I bet you can\u2019t name 100 women, he said he could, I said, do it on stream, and try for under ten minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blaire\u2019s boyfriend is also a popular streamer called Ludwig. He broadcast his attempt to over 30,000 live viewers and published the video to his Youtube channel with 7 million subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A viral challenge was born. Name 100 women, dead or alive, listing them on screen as you go in as short a time as you can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI put a tweet out and tagged all my biggest creator friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWomen are overlooked in pop-culture, whether it\u2019s filmmaking, comedy, streaming, all the communities I\u2019m part of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 2022, QT has run \u201cThe Streamer Awards\u201d, an annual award show recognising achievement in the livestreaming community. Every year the show has been hosted by women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI just decided, it\u2019s my show, it\u2019s the way it is, if it was just men no one would say anything, that would just be Hollywood for the past century\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut it has to be fun, otherwise people just reject it. At the end of the day, I have to deliver a great show for the audience and it\u2019s that pressure I feel the most.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot only do we get the names of women out there, but the joke is on the guys that struggle with it. It\u2019s showing people a bad example like here\u2019s how not to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first name in Blaire\u2019s tweet calling on male online creators to take the challenge was @slime_machine. Anthony Bruno, known online as \u2018slime\u2019 is a smaller online creator and close friend to QTCinderella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI really wanted Slime to do it, I just thought he would be funny and it would get clipped and people would talk about it. He\u2019s exactly that \u2018bad example\u2019 I was hoping for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anthony is known for his sharp wit and but sometimes prickly demeanour, often making an example of members in his streaming audience that are antagonistic or rude. He\u2019s also very happy to be the bad example that QT was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I’m happy to be that foil I think that\u2019s a good character to play”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“But the punchline is that men are dumb at the end of the day, not that women aren’t worthy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Across the lists of 100 women, the most popular category of celebrity was actresses \u2013 and the actress appearing on the most lists was a familiar name for this trend, Sydney Sweeney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Wiggins has an explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s always a massive recency bias when it comes to online trends, if a topic or name is prevalent in popular culture, it\u2019s sure to reflect in online culture as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
 The woman that appeared on most lists was Hilary Clinton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Politician, almost-president and former first lady, it\u2019s hard to name a more prominent woman in American politics from over the last 30 years. But QT thinks there is a different reason for her prominence in this challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s the answer guys think they should put! The kinda best example of the type of woman that should be celebrated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This idea that that the challenge is not just about fulfilling the 100 names, but picking worthy names, echoes back to the TikTok version of the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slime had this in mind during his attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt first, I had it in my head as like what if this were the list of 100 women\u2019s names to send into space, you know? Like here are earth\u2019s representatives, but that went out of the window as the challenge got harder.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hilary Clinton was the first name on his list, but at around the 4-minute mark this notion went out the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe just started listing pornstars! And I remember he said \u2018here we go!\u2019 like he had just discovered fire or something!\u201d Explains QT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clipped and titled \u2018QT discovers a cheat code\u2019 This is perhaps the most viral moment from the challenge, gaining millions of views across YouTube, X and TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slime was not alone. Porn Actresses was the 6th<\/sup> most common category of women for the challenge, featuring more frequently than TV personalities, Authors and academics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many this confirmed fears that started with the earlier videos. That the internet\u2019s view of women is hyper-sexualised and misogynistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But is there cause for alarm? Slime himself thinks not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“For sure it’s a commentary, or an insight on our perceptions, but you don’t have to panic or change what you’re doing to fix it, it’s about being aware.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s like with AI, it’s just a soulless reader of all the worst things humans have put out there on the internet, feeding on this diet of the worst parts of culture and that makes it sexist and racist and they have to hard code around it, but then that’s the same slop that gets fed to people on TikTok and Instagram.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
QTCinderella agrees, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cif this [trend] teaches you anything it should be awareness. Know the world you\u2019re in, know how the algo works and be better than it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
